    When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. And maintenance is a lifelong plateau, so a bit of "rehearsal" for maintenance isn't the worst thing in the world.

    "Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. You cannot have the success without the failures.

    What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you, can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

    In all your adversities there lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

    I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.

    Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want.

    Persevere and you will win the prize.

    You get whatever you settle for.

    Your past does not equal, nor does it dictate, your future.

    One definition of insanity is: Doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.

    Do you choose to simply know the path, or do you choose to walk it?

    We fail because we don't strike the iron while it's hot. We don't take immediate action toward achieving what we want. We decide to wait until tomorrow, or next week, or even next month.

    It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?

    Be specific in what you want, and use specific words. Empower yourself, and become the person you dream about

    Listen closely: the only time it's too late to change yourself is when you're dead. Until then, you're simply making excuses or lying to yourself.

    If you didn't need a pill to get fat, why would you need one to get unfat?

    You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day.

    Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.

    We can reverse years of damage to our bodies by deciding to raise our standards for ourselves, then living differently. Old wounds heal, injuries repair, and the whole system improves with just a few changes in what we put into our bodies and how we move them.

    "Anything is possible, It's your choice whether or not you choose to make IT happen."

    What would you attempt, if you knew you could not fail?

    Discipline is remembering what you want.

    "You have failed only when you quit trying. Until then, you're still in the act of progression. So, never quit trying and you'll never be a failure.---Tommy Kelley

    "If we defend our habits, we have no intentions of quitting them."

    "When one approach is not working to reach the desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it is time to devise another approach."
    Ralph Marston

    Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens." (Khalil Gibran)

    This is a post from BabyDuchess, I think it's the perfect motivational tool.

    DON'T QUIT: When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, And you feel like the biggest failure in town. When you want to give up just because you gave in, and forget all about being healthy and thin. So What! You went over your calories a bit, It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit! It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change. It's learning the skills to get back in your range. It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now. You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow." It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal. You're still gonna make it, just stay in control. To stumble and fall is not a disgrace, If you summon the will to get back in the race. But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip, Just throw in the towel and continue to slip. And learn too late when the damage is done, that the race wasn't over...they still could have won. Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow, but facing each challenge will help you grow. Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint in a cloud of doubt. When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit, If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit! - Author Unknown
